All the necessities with no personal touches. Keys from lockbox to open second door were not needed as the second door is always open. Impeccable communication with host. Great location, close to restaurants and train to Millennium Station. Coffee service was excellent, just be sure to find extra pouches in cabinet. Bathtub faucet could not be turned far enough to prevent leaking. TV remote not great and I couldn’t get CNN or MSNBC. I’d stay here again.
